Junior Carlsbad

This morning Oliver and Rachel ran their Junior Carlsbad races!  We had so much fun!!!

The comment of the day happened when we parked and were ready to get out of the Adventure Subaru.  Oliver said, "Let's leave Rachel in the car."  Funny Oliver.  

Here are some pictures of our fun day:

Grammie was prepping Rachel with Oliver's race picture

from last year before we got to her house. 

Running to pick up their bibs!

We got to see the 5 year olds race start!  Neat!!!

Putting bibs on with some pre-race tears....

Grammie and Rachel going to the finish line

to meet Mommy and Oliver when we were done.

Oliver's Start line!

So Cute!

Mommy and Oliver at the start line!

We both needed new shoes, so we got some.  (Finally.)

They are good race shoes!

Pre-race anxiety.  Serious!

After the horn blew, he was having fun!

No more anxiety!  

Go Oliver!

Look at that stride!

Mommy's runner!

Running the line! (He is good at that!)

Receiving his medal.

Proud 4 year old!

Getting hydration.

And some potassium.  

Finish line!

Pre-race snack for Rachel!

Monkey!

Rachel's race!!!  

Look who is behind us and in front of us!  

Eileen and James!  We didn't even see each other until

the finish line!  Funny picture!

Go, go, go Rachel!

Yahoo!!!  

Surprised and happy to see each other!  

Cute picture.  (Rock.)  Oliver is going through a

growth spurt and is eating every 10 seconds so about

here he started to get crazy with hunger and Rachel

is crying because she didn't want Aunt Mere to put her down.

(This is Mommy's favorite picture!)

Expo time!  Oliver got sports balls for him and Rachel!

Playing with bean sacks!

Rachel played too!  She threw them right

in front of her!  Cuteness!

Oliver wanted a train.  He had to answer some

safety questions.  He did a good job!  The man

liked Oliver's sweatshirt and said he was a 

"Boilermaker" too!

Resting.

We stopped at the library on the way home!

Rachel loved it!

She couldn't believe all the books!

And the neat displays!

Happy Saturday!
